Not an option til you post on DCUM and get a clear consensus on how to handle the situation. |

OP, my husband is currently an inpatient because he is suicidal. There is no difference between him and your husband except that I know that this is what is appropriate to the situation, and you are a total newb.
Get off DCUM and get your husband to the hospital however you have to do it. |

It's all side effects. Plus, anti-depressants frequently don't do anything measurably good. (Bipolar is a different issue, not speaking for those people.) |

+1 OP, however you have to get your DH into a hospital, do it. I know a family close to mine, where this is a regular issue for the husband. He is committed a couple of times per year. On the outside, the family looks perfect, and you would never know that the husband has raging depression, is abusive and is suicidal. He is very successful, on the outside. Being in the hospital really seems to help him, for now. GL. |

Anti-depressants kill libido and erections for some men. |

| Call 911 or take him to the ER. That's all you need to do right now. |

What would you rather have: dead male libido or dead DH? |

how in the world do you know the IP address of a post if you're not the website owner? |

Often, it doesn't matter what the spouse wants. It's the depressed DH who wants his libido back. |

Actually, it is the only reasonable option. People threatening suicide are a danger to self and others. There is a mandatory 72 hour hold for observation when 911 gets involved. |

Can you please give an update? Were you able to get him admitted to do an evaluation? Has he always struggled with depression? Is there a difficult set of circumstances you all are facing right now? The holidays can be a hard time for many people.
I hope that you would also consider receiving counseling for yourself. You are loved. |

You got that right! Why should we want to or have to deal with someone unstable like that? I m single, and if I were in a relationship with a suicidal man, I would end it ASAP and not look back. I am NOT a therapist, and it is not my role to play one in a relationship. Someone trying to kill themselves is not my problem or responsibility. Grown people are responsible for themselves. |

That’s why you’re single, incapable of thinking of anyone but yourself. Have fun being dying alone |
